Default GOT THE ROLA!

I've been researching roof top cargo baskets for a while now, trying to find the right one best suited for my needs.
I had the Yakima Load Warrior on my last rig and liked it very much. That's what I was planning on getting for my H3, That is until
I saw the one that StarsnBars purchased for his H3 and sent him a pm to get a little more info. After checking out the Rola cargo basket I decided that it was the one.
Well anyway, I finally received it Friday (via UPS).
Just the right size! (w/the 18" extension I purchased it measures about 74" long X 41" wide X 4" deep ) I'll be mounting my bike racks off to each side of the basket, off-road lights front and rear, hi-lift jack, multi tool w/ shovel, axe and pick and also ski racks.

Thanks for the info StarsnBars!

(Sorry, I had to crop the sh*t out of the pic too get it to fit! POS!)

Nice, I like it. Was it a PIA to install?

No, easy install. I measured the distance between the rails and made a couple of adjustments before I put the basket on top. then measured from side to side to get it even and tightened it up. weighs about 50 lbs.
I used silicone on all of the seems and screws to keep the water out of the inner walls of the tubing.
it fits solid on the Yakima crossbars.

Check out www.etrailer.com
The Rola baskets are made in Australia but, etrailer is one of their distributors. I only paid $200.88 (basket, extension, s&h)

Looks very nice.

What mounts will you use for the HiLift, shovel, axe & lights? Do they sell mounts for that specific rack?

The cross bars and towers are Yakima and they do fit right into the factory roof rails!

Question Re: GOT THE ROLA!

Any comments on the wind noise? What was the cost of the Yakima rails?

No noticeable wind noise.
The towers and cross bars cost about $260.00

Thanks for all of the info StarsnBars!
I really like the Basket, It's very similar to the Yakima Load Warrior
(IE. Powder coating, dimensions, looks, etc.) at half the cost!
Now I need to get all of the goodies on it!
